Per R16, you can't exceed 80" in playing configuration, and playing configuration is defined as any configuration you are in while playing, which would appear to include transient configurations.
Quote:
PLAYING CONFIGURATION - The physical configuration and orientation of the ROBOT while playing
the game (i.e. after the MATCH has started, and the ROBOT has deployed mechanisms, moved away
from the starting location, and/or interacted with the field, GAME PIECES, or other ROBOTS). This
configuration is dynamic, and may change multiple times during the course of a single MATCH
